Wait a flip'n minute!!!

Why on earth are you charged the price of the P1 package in addition to the price of the P2 package when you select P2?????????? If P2 includes features of P1 then you should only be charged the difference of the additional P2 features. Am I wrong here? Missing something???

The P2 price package is that of the P1 contents and additional things. So P1 costs x dollars, P2 costs z dollars because it's x + y = z where y are the extra things and x is the p1 pkg. You're paying z which is both the P1 and P2 combined. Nothing confusing about it

I'm afraid you'll have to "build your own" C-class on the website to understand what I'm talking about(a crucial piece of info I left out). On the site you're charged for P1 and P2, seperately. Either somethings up or the packages are just jaw dropping expensive for minor upgrades(some of which should be standard, but that's up for debate).

a quarter mile at a time
probably just a mistake on how the website is setup. instead of selecting P1, it should probably just grey it out.

My guess is that you cannot get P2 without P1, so they are showing the increase over P1 for the P2 goods. It seems you must buy all of P1 to get P2 as their doesn't seem to be much interest in any ala carte options.

In Germany the company would be compared to undesirable pork products by the public, as they do not favor "Buy this to get that" schemes.

It Is Just A Problem With The Website. Once You Build The Car Subtract The $1400 For The P1 And You Will Have The Correct Price.

I noticed that as well. Here's the break down:

P1: Premium I $1,400

· Rain-sensing wipers
· SIRIUS Satellite Radio
· Auto-dimming mirrors
· Power-folding mirror
· Heated front seats
· Garage door opener

P2: Premium II $2,750

· Includes all the items from P1 plus:
· Split-Folding Rear Seats
· Power rear-window sunshade
· Bi-Xenon headlamps with heated headlamp washers and corner-illuminating foglamps

Can anyone confirm this? I'm going in to the dealership on Saturday and ask my boy to see what's up. Then I'll post results.

I think it's a website error. Try adding P2 on the other models and ONLY the price of the P2 is added.

That's why I asked. I wanted to see if anyone here knew for sure how this works. We'll find out sooner than later.

it's an error on the website...there is another post on this board that discusses it. p2 costs 1350 more than p1 on the 300 and is just 1350 on the 350 (since p1 is included in that one)
